This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on Hbrary shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

PEEFACE

After a lapse of nearly twenty years, a new edition of the
Secwana vocabulary ought to be larger and more correct
than the first edition. It will, I think, be found that this
is the case, though there wdll; still be defects. In such
a workf mistakes and omissions are not easily avoided.

In some respects the Secwana language is very rich in
words, and different words have but a very slight differ-
ence in meaning. Look, for instance, at the list of words
under the headings Breaks CtU, Take, and Turn.

On the other hand, there are some respects in which the
language is decidedly poor ; and it is no easy matter for
an enquirer to avoid being led astray as he seeks for
words to express ideas which experience and use have
made familiar to him, but which are indistinct, if not
) foreign, in the mind of his native helper.

No doubt variations in spelling will still be found in

u the vocabulary and other books. Some of these are

' owing to varying opinions, and others to a difficulty in

deciding upon the proper letters to use. Even in books

printed at Kuruman, words will be found which are spelt

. in more ways than one. In some cases the variations are

^ owing to differences in tribal use in the north and south.

* These differences are found especially in words written

^ with o and o, c and ^, ts and tsh^ lo and le.

(\ When the learner meets with such variations which he

is able to test by ear, he must not conclude that mistakes

^ have been made. Neither let the learner conclude when

he meets with a word not known in the part where he

lives, that this word must be wrong;. Some words are in

use in one part of the country which are not even known

to the natives of other parts.

1 have met with some words in books, anSi TfeWi.N^\
others from missiqn&ries, which my iiotWiapm \kfe\^«^

I

I

thus : Int, Interior words known in the south are gener-
ally written after the Setlhapin words.

No few words are being added to the language by the
adoption of English or Dutch words, and giving them a
Secwana pronunciation. Thus, to comb the hair is, Go
kama — Kara being the Dutch for a comb. Some of these
words are given in the vocabulary, and are designated
hybrid.

As the book is bulky, and the demand for it will be
limited, I fear the price will be comparatively high. No
more than the bare cost, however, will be charged. The
Missionary Society will be satisfied if the outlay is re-
funded by sales some day. The compiler has done the
work as a part of his duties.

HINTS TO LEAENEBS OF SECWANA.

It is not easy to teach Secwana accordin<; to the rules of
grammar, and those who try so to learn it will meet with
many difficulties.

All that is attempted in these hints is to give learners an
insight into the structure of the language, and guide them in
their efforts to acquire it.

Canon Crisp, in; his " Notes'to wards a Secwana Grammar,"
has given us the language in a grammatical form as nearly,
perhaps, as it is possible to give it, and learners will find his
book a gi*eat help.

Orthoobaphy.

There is a good deal of difference of opinion as to how
Secwana should be written. No general rules have as yet
been agreed upon, and words will be found spelt differently
in different books. A learner, however, will soon become
accustomed to the variety.

The orthography of this vocabulary is that used by the
missionaries of the London Missionary Society. The dialect
is, for the most part, that of the Batlhaping tribe.

Letters and Their Sounds.

The letters 6, /i. A:, ly wi, w, p, r, », i, to, and y^ are used as in
English.

In the north, and also among the Bairolong, h has a sound
resembling hh^ or fh ; and in some books it is written f.
Sometimes h has the sound of r.

y sometimes has a sound approaching the English /, as, for
instance, in Leywa,

ii is sounded like ng in hung.

d is more like the English d than any other letter ; though
it is thought by some to resemble I and r. Perhaps the letter
d only partially sounded is as near an approach to the sound
as an English learner could get without help.

c is sounded like ch in church.

^ is a guttural, and is used as in Dutch. It is heard also in
the Scotch word loch,

a is like a in father,

e has two sounds, one like a in age^ and tlie otih^x \ Viv uxu.

6 is like e in wed.

tis like the double e in see and been,

6

6

o represents two sounds ; the o in rojpc, and the sound heard
when southern Becwanas pronounce the word lehoko,

is like ou in ought.

u is like u in rural,

kg is a combination of k and the guttural, and its sound
can only be acquired by practice.

till is tl aspirated.

tail is ta aspirated.

Two vowels coming together are generally both sounded.
In the case of double n, the voice rests upon the letters,
making them almost like two syllables. The same is also the
case with double m.

Pronunciation and Accent.

The general rale is that words are divided at the vowels ;
and the accent is on the last syllable but one, e,g, Tumclo, and
Itu7)iela.

When words end in »l, the emphasis is on the last syllable,
i.e. Itum6?a?l. In the case of words of only one syllable the
accent is on the last syllable of the word preceding it, i.e.
Ke (la sha ; Ba le &a ga ; Bea nwa. In some cases, only a
very slight difference in sound or emphasis distinguishes one
word from another. Sometimes, indeed, the difference is so
slight as to be indistinguishable by any but a quick ear, and
orthography fails to express it. Fortunately, such words are
not numerous, and the connection will generally indicate the
meaning.

£uPH0Nic Changes.

Attention should be paid to certain changes in consonants,
which evidently take place for the sake of euphony, c.//. —

B into P. Bolaea, Ipolaea.

G „ Kg. Godisa, Ikgodisa.

E „ Th. Ruta, Ithuta.

D „ T. Disa, Itisa.

L „ T. Leba, Iteba.

L „ D. Bola, Bodile.

H „ Ph. Lohare, Diphare.
When mo precedes words beginning with 6, the two words
become one, i.e. Ke tla mmona, for Ke tla mo bona. Be le ra
mmitsa, for Be le ra mo bitsa.

Particles.

A learner of Secwana will do well, at the outset, to concern

lumself but little with grammatical rules, and pay special

WjkfDtion to certain little particles which are in such con-

^* use as to play an important part in tlie 8tT\xc\.\)i^ ol t\ie

language. Each noun has its own particle or particles which
perform several offices, and without which the noun is very
seldom used. In the use of pronouns, adjectives, and verbs
also, these particles show themselves. The following sen-
tences will snow the frequency of their use.

The particle of the majority of nouns is e,

Kico e. This knowledge ; Kico ea me, My knowledge ; Kico
e kgolo. The great knowledge ; Kico e tla thusa, Knowledge
will help ; Kico eotlhe, All the knowledge ; Kic5 e nwe. The
other knowledge.

The particle of nouns beginning with se is se,

Setlhare se. This tree ; Setlhare sa me, My tree ; Setlhare se
se golo (written segolo), A large tree ; Setlhare se tla wa,
The tree will fall ; Setlhare se se nwe (written senwe). The
other tree ; Setlhare shotlhe. All the tree.

The particles of nouns beginning with le are le and ye,

lieru ye. This cloud ; Leru ye me, My cloud ; Leru ye le
golo, A large cloud ; Leru le tla honala. The cloud will ap-
pear ; Leru ye le nwe. The other cloud ; Leru y eotlhe. All the
cloud.

The particle of nouns beginning with lo is Zo.

liokwalo lo. This hook ; Lokwalo loa me. My book : Lokwalu
lo lo golo, A large book ; Lokwalo lo tla wa. The book will
fall ; Lokwalo lo lo golo, A large book ; Lokwalo lo lo nwe,
The other book ; Lokwalo lotlhe. All the book.

The particles of nouns beginning with bo are ho and yo.

Bogob6 yo. This bread ; &gob^ yoa me, My bread ; Bogobe
yo ho golo. The large bread ; Bogob6 bo tla thusa. The bread
will help; Bogobe yo bo nwe. The other bread; Bogobe
yotlhe, All the bread.

The particles for nouns beginning with wio, are o and ?uo.

Monwana o, This finger ; Monwana oa me. My finger ;
Monwana o mo golo, A large finger ; Monwana o tla gola,
The finger will grow ; Monwana o mo nwe. The other finger ;
Monwana otlhe. All the finger.

Personal nouns beginning with 7?io, have eo also as a
particle.

Mosadi eo. This woman ; Mosadi oa me, My wife ; Mosadi
eo mo golo, A great woman: Mosadi o tla ea, The woman
will go ; Mosadi eo mo nwe, Tne other woman.

The particle of nouns beginning with ha is ha.

Banona ba. These men ; Banona ba me. My men ; Banona
ba ba golo. The great men ; Banona ba tla ea, The men will
go ; Banona ba ba nwe, Tne other men ; Banona botlhe, All
the men.

The particles of nouns beginning with taa, are a SLii.\ ma.

Maina a, These names, (The a here is aouudftA. \K)&ft 'v»ob

8

and may sometimes be found written so). Maina a rona, Our
names; Maina a ma golo, The great names; Maina a tla
balwa, The names will oe read ; Maina a ma nwe, The other
names ; Maina aotlhe, All the names.
The particles of nouns beginning with me are e and nie,
Menwana e, These fingers ; Menwana ea me, My fingers ;
Menwana e me golo, The great names ; Menwana e tla sha,
The fingers will be burned; Menwana e me nwe, The other
fingers ; Menwana eotlhe, All the fingers.

There are some exceptions to the rules relating to the par-
ticles. For instance, Metse, water, has a as its particle.
Mmele has o: DushO has lo» These exceptions will all, 1
think, be found in the vocabulary.

Article.

There is no article in Secwana. Each noun includes its
article within itself. Molao is either a law, or the law.
Kgoma e shale, The ox is dead ; literally. The ox it is dead.

Nouns.

Number, The plural of nouns whose particle is c, is formed
by prefixing di to the singular. Puo, Dipuo ; Not6, Dinoto ;
Thupa, Dithupa; Kgosi, Dikgosi; Ghaka, Dichaka; ^ata,
Dinata.

Nouns beginning with se, change ae into di in forming the
plural. Setlhare, Ditlhare.

Nouns beginning: with loy change lo into di^ and sometimes
into ma, Lonao, Dinao ; Lounwo, Maufiwo.

Nouns beginning with mo^ change mo into me. Monwana,
Menwana.

Personal nouns beginning with «io, however, change into
ha, Motho, Batho ; Moloi, BaloL

Nouns beginning with Twm, change into me, Mmopo,
Mebopo ; Mmele, Mebele. Personal nouns beginning with
mm have other changes. Mmatli, Babatli ; Mmolai, Babolai.

Names of trees generally have the singular in mo, and the
plural in ma, Mokala, Makala.

Noims beginning with fe, change le into ma, Leina,
Maina.

Some nouns form their plarals irregularly. Dusho, Dincho ;
Letsatsi, Malatsi ; Mutlwa, Mitlwa ; Loleme, Diteme ;
^wana, Bana ; Ntlo, Matlo ; Lodi, Dinti.

The plurals of personal nouns and nouns of relationship
are sometimes formed by prefixing ho to the singular.
Mmabo, Bommabo.

^4 Jars-e number is sometimes expressed by using the prefix
Cy^"^' ^^^^^f Many articles; Mank\i,M.any aVxefei^.

^^' — -^^^ gender of nouns is expressed in aoTae ^aafe«»\s^

a separate word, and in others by a change m the adjective.
For instance, Mosimane, A male child ; Mosetsana, A female
child. Nca, A dog ; Nca e namagadi, A hitch. Kgomo e ncho,
A black ox ; Kgomo e chwana, A black cow.

Case, — The possessive case of nouns whose particle is c, or o,
or io, is formed by adding a to the particle. Nkn ea me, My
sheep ; Menwana ea gago, Thy fingers ; Mosadi oa gagwe, His
wife ; Lomao loa bona. Their needle.

Noans whose particles are le and ye have ya, Leino ya me,
My tooth.

Noans whose particles are yo and &o, have yoa» Boleo yoa
bona, Their sin.

Nouns whose particles are di and tse^ have tsa, Dilo tsa
gagw6, His things.

Nouns whose particle is 8e have sa. SetulS sa me, My
stool.

Nouns whose particles are 6a or a retain the particles un-
changed. Baba ba rona, Our enemies ; Mahumd a gagwe,
His riches.

In the case of proper names the particle is followed by ga.
Pitse ea ga Peter, Peter's horse.

Verbal nouns also have ga. Go diha ga gagwe. His work-
ing.

Place wliere is expressed by the prepositions mo^ ha, kaha,
and kwa. In these cases the noun ends in ?I, and certain
changes also take place in the vowel of its linal syllable, the
open vowel becoming, as a rule, acute. For instance : —

a changes into e. Pitsa. Mo pitsen, In a pot.

e changes into i. Setlhare. Mo setlharin. In a tree.

changes into o. Tiho. Mo tihoii. In a work.

o, where it has the distinctive southern sound, changes into
«. Lehoko. Lehokun, In a word.

c changes into e, Kolobe. Mo kolobefi, In a pig.

In this locative case there are also euphonic changes in
some of the consonants. Pelo. Mo pedun, In a heart.
Letlole. Mo letlodin. In a box.

Nouns ending in il seem to vary in usage. Boyafi. Mo
boyanen, Mo boyaiiyen, and Mo boyanye, all seem to be
heard.

Adjectives.

Adjectives are joined to nouns by means of the particles.
The usual method in the books is to connect one of the
particles with the adjective itself, i.e.. Motho eo mogolo, A
great person ; Batho ba basha, New people*, Set\\i"a.T^ ^^ ^^\iJOC^>
A loeautifal tree; Ditlhsire tse dintle, "Be^AiXMxA X.'wg
Mahoko a mabotlana, Few words, etc. "BxxV. \i\i^ "caa^
wMch would show and preserve the atr\ict\ire ot \i\ka\Ka3id

10

better is that by which the usual forms of the particles are
preserved throughout. We should then write:— Motho eo
mo golo ; Batho ba ba sha ; Setlhare se se ntle ; Ditlhare
tse di ntl6 ; Mahoko a ma botlana, etc.

^ Certain euphonic changes appear in the use of the adjec-
tives, *.e., Thipa e potlana; Setlhare se se botlana. Ntlo e
ncha ; Secwalo se se sha.

Nouns and verbs are used as adjectives by means of the
particles. Motho eo o thata, A strong man, or The man who
is strong ; Nca e e bogale, An angry dog, or The dog which is
angry; Metse a a lecwai, Salt water; Tiho e e nyats^gan, A
despicable work.

The comparative degree is generally expressed by using the
word bogolo. Podi e e tonna, A large goat; Podi e e tonna
bogolo, A larger goat.

To express the auperlcUive degree^ bogolo bogolo is used.
Podi e e tonna bogolo bogolo. The largest goat.

Numerals.

The Secwana numerals up to seven are expressed by words
which are preceded by the particles, and vary slightly accord-
ing to euphonic requirement.

One^ !Rwe. One horse, Pitse nwe. The e is elided. One tree,
Setlhare senwe. The remark as to the method of writing,
which was made in connection with adjectives, would apply
here also.

Tm7o, Pedi. Two horses, Dipitse dipedi ; Dipitse di le pedi.
Two people, Batho babedi.

Three, Tharo. Three horses, Dipitse ditharo ; Dipitse di le
tharo. Three people, Batho bararo.

Vebbs.

In the use of Secwana verbs certain particles play an
important part, and they are capable of expressing very
slight variations in meaning. These particles vary some-
-what in the different dialects.

A long list of paradigms showing the moods and tenses of
the verb, may be found in Archdeacon Crisp's Grammar. In
these hints, examples of the simplest forms only can be given.

The learner must remember that the third person of verbs,
both in the singular and the plural, always depends upon the
particle of the noun; and these particles are always used
either with the noun or in place of it.

The infinitive of the verb is formed by the use of go. Go
rata, To love. Gro bisa go rata, Not to love ; Without loving.

In eating, Mo go yefi.

In not eating. Mo go sa yeii.

By eating, Ka go ya.

Notes on the Verbs.

Perfect. — The perfect form of the verb, as well as the pas-
sive, etc., is for the most part formed according to certain
general rules ; but the exceptions are many, and can only be
learned by practice.

The most general rule for forming the perfect is that final
a changes into iZe, Bata, Batile. There are some changes
which are found in almost all verbs of 'the same formation ;
though the exceptions are so numerous that it is difficult to
frame rules that will include all. The following may be re-
garded as general rules, the exceptions appearing, for the most
part, in the vocabulary.

Verbs ending in ua change into sitse^ Hosa, Hositse.

Those ending in ara change into ere, Chwara, Chwere.

Those ending in nya change into nine, Henya, Hentse.

Those ending in ana change into anye, Tlhabana, Tlha-
banye.

Those ending in ela change into etse, Chwanela, Chwa-
nets9.

Those ending in anya change into antse* Lekanya, Le-
kantse.

Some verbs having the same termination form the perfect
difierently. Ala, Adile ; Gohala, Cohetse ; Ithwala, Ithwele ;
Ila, Iditse ; Sila, Sidile ; Gama, Gamile; Kgama, Kgame;
Baea, Beile ; Tsamaea, Tsamaile ; Hea, Hile ; Bula, Budile ;
Dula, Dutse ; Bona, Bonye ; Kgona, Kgonne ; Gotsa, Gotsitse ;
Botsa, Boditse.

Some verbs form the perfect irregularly. Ya, Yele ; KgOra.
Kgotshe ; Nwa, Nol6 ; Shwa, Shule.

A few verbs have the perfect in two forms. Cwa, Cwile,
Dule.

Verbs whose vowels are long generally have those vowels
shortened in the perfect. Loa, Loile ; Kgona, Kgonne.

Pasnives. — As a rule, the passive is formed by changing

final a into tea, ett'a, or ewa, Bata, Batwa ; Ha, Hiwa ; Ya,

Yewa.

Jn some cases a change takes place also in the consonants

wlfjcli precede the final vowel. Ala, A-jNva^ lV»a.^ livw^.*

19

Verbs ending in ma change ina into ilwa. Boma, Boiiwa ;
Kama, Kanwa.

Verbs ending in pa change into cwa. Kopa, Kocwa; Bipa,
Bicwa.

Some verbs with the same termination form the passive
differently. Baea, B^wa ; Bolaea, Bolawa.

Some verbs have the passive in two forms. Kgatlha, Kga-
tlhwa, Kgatlhiwa ; Kgwetsa, Kgwecwa, Kgwediwa.

Secwana verbs have certain formations which are not
fonnd in English. The most common of thes3 have been
called the Causative, the Belative, the Reciprocal and the
Reflective.

The Causative is generally formed by changing the final a
of the verb intyo isa, Kata, Batisa, Cause to love.

The following are other forms of the causative. Horosala ,
Horosetsa ; Bobala, Bobatsa ; Huhana, Huhantsha ; Kgaotsa,
Kgaodisa ; Hela, Hetsa ; GrOrOga, Gorotsha ; B5la, Bodisa ;
B5na, Bonesa; Op^la, Opedisa; Itse, Itsise; Taboga, Tabosa,
Bolola, Bolotsa.

The Relative is generally formed by changing final a into
ela, Boma, Bomela, to send for. The chief exceptions to this
rule are verbs which end in sa and change into setsa, Thusa,
Thusetsa.

Verbs ending in tsa som times change into letsa, Bitsa.,
Biletsa.

The Reciprocal is formed by adding nya or na to the final
a, Thusa, Thusanya ; Bata, Batana, love each other.

There is sometimes a slight elision. Baea, Baana, Say to
each other.

The Reflective is formed by prefixing i to the verb. Thusa,
Ithusa, Help oneself.

There are sundry euphonic changes involved in the forma*
tion of the reflective. Beta, Ipheta ; Hara, Iphara ; Dihela,
Itihela ; Godisa, Ikgodisa ; Loma, Itoma ; Sega, Itshega ; Sira,
Itshira.

Tlie Interrogative form of the verb is indicated by a at the
beginning of a sentence. A u tla ya. Shall you eat ? Will
you eat ? A ga u ketla u ya ? Wiil you not eat ?

In negative sentences, present tense, open vowels lose the
open sound, Ga ke ba bone, I do not see them.

Adverbs, Prepositions, and Conjunctions must be sought in
the vocabulary.
